Terms and Conditions

The rules that govern using this site, selling us a watch, and buying one from us. The section on disputes changes your legal rights, so please read it.

Who you are agreeing with

This website is operated by Zach Does Watches, a trade name of Canning Wholesale, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company. In these Terms, we and us mean Canning Wholesale, LLC, and you means you. By using this site, requesting an estimate, selling us a watch, or buying one from us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The section headed Disputes, arbitration, and class action waiver contains a binding arbitration agreement and a waiver of your right to take part in a class action. It changes how disagreements between us get resolved. You can opt out of it within 30 days. Please read it.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter a contract. We buy and sell in the United States only, and we ship within the United States only.

What this site is

The site describes what we buy, what we have for sale, and how to reach us. Nothing on it is an offer to buy or sell any particular watch at any particular price until we say so in writing, in the specific ways described below.

Nothing on this site is investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. We use words like investment-grade to describe a category of watch, not to predict what any watch will be worth later. Watches are luxury goods. Some appreciate. Most do not. Buy one because you want it, and make your own decisions about what any of it is worth to you.

Estimates are estimates

This is the most important thing on this page. Any number we give you before we have your watch in our hands is an estimate, not an offer and not a binding price. It is based on what you told us and the photographs you sent, and both of those can be incomplete or wrong with or without anyone lying.

A price becomes real only after the watch physically arrives at our facility, we authenticate and inspect it in house, and we confirm the estimate or tell you a different number.

If the inspection produces a different number, we will tell you what changed and why, and you are free to accept the revised number or decline. If you decline, the purchase agreement governs what happens next, including who pays return shipping.

We will never treat an estimate as a commitment you made. Sending us a watch is not selling it to us.

Selling your watch to us

You submit a description and photographs. We give you an estimate. If you accept, we send you a purchase agreement for electronic signature. Once signed, we send you a prepaid, insured, overnight shipping label. You ship. We authenticate. We confirm or adjust. On confirmation, and after the screening checks below, we pay you by wire.

When you sign the per-transaction purchase agreement, that document governs the sale. If anything in it conflicts with these Terms, the purchase agreement wins for that transaction.

What you are promising us

• You own the watch outright, or you are authorized to sell it
• It is not stolen, and it is not subject to a lien, loan, pawn, or any other claim
• It has not been reported lost or stolen to any insurer, registry, or law enforcement agency
• What you told us about it is accurate to the best of your knowledge
• You are not on any United States sanctions list and are not acting for anyone who is

Screening

Before we pay, we screen the serial number against stolen-property registries and against our own transaction history, and on larger transactions we screen the counterparty against United States Treasury sanctions lists. If a watch appears on a stolen-property registry we will not pay for it, we will not return it while the claim is unresolved, and we will cooperate with law enforcement. This is not negotiable and it protects every honest seller and buyer we deal with.

Identity and reporting

For transactions above certain thresholds we are legally required to verify your identity and to file reports with federal authorities, including IRS and FinCEN Form 8300. We cannot complete those transactions without the information those rules require.

Payment

We pay by wire on confirmation, subject to the screening checks above. We verify wire instructions through a second channel before sending money, which means we will call you on a number we already have. This exists because wire fraud in this industry works by compromising an email thread, and we would rather inconvenience you than send your money to a criminal.

Buying a watch from us

• An account is required. High-value goods go to identified people, so we do not offer guest checkout
• Each watch is one of a kind. A listing is for a specific physical object, and putting it in your cart does not reserve it. A watch is reserved only when checkout completes
• Available payment methods depend on the price of the watch and are shown at checkout. Card payments are processed on our payment processor's hosted checkout and card data never reaches our systems
• For some methods, including bank transfers, we hold the order until funds have genuinely cleared and the reversal window has closed before we ship. We will tell you which applies to your order
• Sales tax is calculated at checkout where we are required to collect it

Price errors

We work hard to price correctly, but if a listing contains an obvious pricing or description error we may cancel the order and refund you in full, and we will tell you what happened. We will not make you pay a price you did not agree to, and we will not be held to a price that resulted from a clear mistake.

Title and risk

Title passes when we receive cleared payment in full. Risk of loss passes on delivery to you. Shipments are insured and require a direct signature. We do not authorize carriers to leave a watch without one, and we ask that you do not either.

Authenticity and returns

Every watch we sell is authenticated in house, or with a trusted third party, before it is listed. The full authenticity guarantee and the returns policy that accompanies it are being finalized with counsel and will be published here before the storefront opens. Until then, no watch is offered for sale through this site.

Shipping

Inbound shipments to us use a prepaid, insured, overnight label we provide, with direct signature required and insurance to the coverage limit stated on the label. Do not ship a watch to us on your own label or by any other method. A watch sent outside our process is not covered by our insurance and we cannot be responsible for it. The party bearing risk of loss on each leg is recorded on the shipment and stated in the purchase agreement.

Communications

By giving us your email address or phone number in connection with a transaction, you agree we may contact you about that transaction. Those messages are not marketing and continue even if you unsubscribe from marketing. Marketing email and text messages require your separate opt-in and you can leave at any time. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and you can reply STOP to any text message. How we handle your information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use

Do not use this site to break the law, to sell us stolen property, to impersonate anyone, to scrape or harvest data, to probe or test our security, to interfere with the site's operation, or to submit anything false or misleading. We may refuse service, cancel an order, or close an account where we believe any of the above has happened, or where a transaction presents a fraud or legal risk we are not willing to take.

Our content and brand names

The text, photographs, logos, and design on this site belong to us or our licensors, and our name and logo are our trademarks. You may not copy or reuse our content commercially without our written permission.

Brand names appear on this site to describe watches we buy and sell, and those are the trademarks of their owners. We are an independent dealer in the secondary market. We hold no factory authorization from any watch manufacturer and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them.

The copyright in anything you send us stays yours. By sending it, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, edit, adapt, publish, and display it for any purpose connected with our business, including evaluating your watch, keeping records, listing the watch for sale, advertising, and social media, and to pass those rights on to the marketplaces and platforms we sell through. We do not have to ask you first and no payment is owed for it. You promise that what you send is yours to send, or that you have permission to send it, and that our using it as described will not infringe anyone else's rights. Please do not send us photographs taken from a dealer listing, an auction catalogue, or a manufacturer's press material. Photograph your own watch.

Disclaimers and limits on liability

The site is provided as is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that every description is complete and current. We correct errors when we find them. This does not limit the authenticity guarantee described above or any warranty the law does not allow us to disclaim.

To the fullest extent the law allows, by using this website and our services, you agree that, and that it is reasonable that, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost value, or lost opportunity, arising out of your use of this site. Our total liability arising out of any transaction will not exceed the amount you paid us, or we paid you, for that transaction. Some states do not allow certain limitations, and where that is true these limits apply only to the extent permitted.

You agree to cover our reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees, arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of law, or a third-party claim that a watch you sold us was not yours to sell.

Disputes, arbitration, and class action waiver

Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration, email zach@ZachDoesWatches.com describing the problem and what you want. Most things get resolved here. Give us 30 days.

If we cannot resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms, the site, or any transaction between us will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, before one arbitrator, seated in Atlanta, Georgia, under the administering body's consumer rules.

• Small claims carve-out: either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead, if it qualifies. Nothing here stops that
• Injunctive relief carve-out: either of us may go to court for an injunction to protect intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access to our systems

Class action waiver. You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies to everything else.

You can opt out of arbitration. Email zach@ZachDoesWatches.com with the subject line Arbitration opt-out within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, and include your name and the email address you used. Opting out costs you nothing, does not affect any transaction, and we will not treat you differently for it. If you opt out, disputes go to the courts named below.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For anything not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia. This section survives termination of these Terms.

Changes, and the rest

We may update these Terms. The last updated date above will change and the current version always governs, except that the Terms in effect when you entered a transaction govern that transaction. Significant changes will be announced on the site before taking effect.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce something is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. These Terms and any purchase agreement you signed are the entire agreement between us on this subject.
